"Who knows." Li Xia didn't want to tell Mrs. Tao that Su Wenyan was taking advantage of her identity as Captain Gu's wife and was trying hard to become his stepmother.
"By the way, sister-in-law, do you know of any job that's suitable for me? Please introduce it to me."
Before the article is published in newspapers, she still needs to find a job as a transition.
Sister Tao is popular, has been with the army for a long time, and knows many people. You might get some unexpected results by asking her.
Mrs. Tao said, "You really asked the right question. Master Zhao from the military canteen asked me to ask you if you are willing to work in their canteen.
Instead of cooking from a big pot, I manage a small stove. It is not as tiring as cooking from a big pot, and the salary is as high as that of the chef who cooks from a big pot.
But I thought you were going to work at the radio station, so I turned it down for you. Although working in the cafeteria is not bad, it is not as good as the radio station. But since you didn't get the job at the radio station, you can try the cafeteria."
At that time, working in the canteen was very good, with high pay, good benefits, and access to oil, rice, and flour.
"Okay, then I'll go." Li Xia agreed immediately.
Li Xia and Mrs. Tao went to the military canteen to find Master Zhao. Master Zhao was very happy when he heard that Li Xia was coming to work.
"Xiao Li and I are from the same hometown. That day, Captain Gu sent some dishes to Xiao Li, and I tried them too. They tasted really good.
It just so happens that our chef Su is not feeling well and is in the hospital, so I thought of asking you to come over for a while. When chef Tan comes to work, it will be fine, and we will open a separate window for you. "
Master Zhao praised Li Xia's craftsmanship highly.
Li Xia said, "Master Zhao, I see that you are a straightforward person, so I won't hide anything from you.
Actually, I came here to work because the radio station stopped hiring. It's not that the canteen job is bad, but I personally prefer jobs related to literature, so if there are other suitable jobs at that time, I might leave."
After hearing this, Master Zhao felt that she was a very honest person. She said what she wanted to say in advance instead of promising something at the beginning and then failing to do it.
Master Zhao said, "You are helping me a lot by coming here. It's okay if you want to leave by then. If the master hasn't come yet, I will find someone else. If it really doesn't work, I can take over myself. Anyway, I can't delay you."
The work was settled happily.
Because it was already noon, Li Xia went back first and came back to work tomorrow.
Gu Weicheng came back from the cafeteria with lunch at noon and planned to eat with An An.
Unexpectedly, when I got home, I found Li Xia at home. I was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back so early? Are you feeling unwell or is it your first day off from work?"
Li Xia shook her head: "Neither."
Gu Weicheng was so anxious when he saw her like this that he couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?"
An An said beside him: "Mom said that the radio station has already recruited someone."
"Did you recruit someone?" Gu Weicheng frowned, looking unhappy. "But the Organization Department asked me yesterday to call you over today. How did you recruit someone? Who did you recruit?"
Li Xia said: "Su Wenyan, she just went there last night. I guess the Organization Department didn't know about it at that time."
"Su Wenyan? Captain Su's sister?" Gu Weicheng's brows furrowed even tighter, forming a "川" shape.
Li Xia nodded: "Well, she seems to have graduated from high school. Her education level is higher than mine. It's normal for the radio station to hire her."
Gu Weicheng disagreed with her words and said in a cold tone: "There are many people who graduated from high school, but not everyone who graduated from high school can write your manuscript. It's their loss if the radio station doesn't want you."
He had a bad impression of Su Wenyan. He didn't believe that the articles written by such a person could be better than those written by his wife.
Seeing that Gu Weicheng was even angrier than her, Li Xia couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not even angry yet, why are you angry?"
Gu Weicheng said: "I am angry that they are blind."
As he said that, he reached out and held Li Xia's hand: "Wife, the article you wrote is really good."
Ever since he called Li Xia "wife" last time and Li Xia didn't say anything, he started calling her that more and more often.
"Xiao Li" was still too unfamiliar, as if he was calling a soldier under his command. Gu Weicheng would only call Li Xia like this in front of outsiders.
His hands were broad and long, and Li Xia's hands were wrapped in his palms, giving her a full sense of security.
Facing Gu Weicheng's affectionate eyes, Li Xia's heart beat faster and she said with a smile, "Yes, they are blind and will regret it later."
So what if Su Wenyan got a spot to work at the radio station?
She has Gu Weicheng, An An, a solid backing and a warm home.
These are things that Su Wenyan cannot take away from you.
"Wife, my salary is actually more than 130 yuan a month, which is more than enough to support you and An An.
We don’t need you to go out and earn money in our family. You can just do what you like at home. Write some articles when you have free time. It’s more comfortable this way anyway.”
Gu Weicheng said that he was not a male chauvinist and believed that women should stay at home.
He was very supportive of Li Xia going to work, but now that she had lost her job at the radio station, he said this to comfort Li Xia.
Li Xia knew in her heart that although this man was tall, he was a very thoughtful person and not the kind of big and strong man.
He is comforting himself.
"I know, but I found a job this morning," said Li Xia.
Gu Weicheng was surprised: "You found a job? What job?"
Li Xia then told Mrs. Tao about how Master Zhao had looked for her and how she and Mrs. Tao had gone to the cafeteria to look for Master Zhao.
"Master Zhao said that I'm a good cook. After eating the food I cooked, he wanted me to work in their cafeteria." Li Xia raised his chin slightly, with an expression of 'look at how great your wife is.'
Gu Weicheng was still unhappy about Li Xia's job being taken away, but seeing her like this, he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
"My wife is amazing." Gu Weicheng praised.
Originally he thought that the work in the cafeteria would be tiring, but when he saw that Li Xia was willing to go and that it was better than the big pot meals at the small kitchen window, he didn't say anything.
"And there's one more thing I want to tell you." Li Xia said seriously, "Didn't you tell me last time that the army propaganda department was also recruiting people?"
Gu Weicheng nodded: "Yes, the propaganda department of the army is also recruiting people, but the academic qualifications there are more strict."
He was a little annoyed. He wished he could get his wife into the army propaganda department, which would be much better than the radio station.
"I know, we need college students. But I think, rules are dead but people are alive. If my article is favored by the leaders of the Propaganda Department, is it possible that they will take the initiative to let me work in the Propaganda Department?" Li Xia said.
